Many visitors come specifically to taste this rich and delicious coffee.

Then Espresso is tucked away in a small alley opposite Yangming Theater in Shilin Night Market. Though the shop is only a few square meters in size, it is often packed with people lining up. Many Ming Chuan University students and netizens visit as a pilgrimage. The shop is filled with a strong American-style vibe, blending music and coffee elements, attracting many customers to chat outside the counter while enjoying the breeze and music.
